The Trump Administration’s Latest Expansion of the Mexico City Policy: A Funding Analysis
On Friday, January 23, 2026, the Trump administration released the latest expansion of the Mexico City Policy (MCP). The controversial policy, which had restricted foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from performing or promoting abortion as a method of family planning as a condition of receiving most U.S. global health aid, has been broadened significantly to include more organizations (not just foreign NGOs) and most U.S. foreign aid. Also, the policy now prohibits activities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as well as support for gender-affirming care and services, and legal protections based on gender identity (among other activities). This move marks the most significant expansion of the MCP in more than 40 years — extending its reach far beyond the policy’s expansion during Trump’s first term.
This analysis assesses the potential reach of the latest expansion of the Mexico City Policy, which is now part of the Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance (PHFFA) Policy.
